finally - age shouldn't count. as long with the aid of fact the writer feels that your concept is buyable and could no longer in easy terms make you funds yet maximum severely - it's going to make the writer funds. while you're nonetheless worried approximately it - then i might start up small. Write short thoughts and deliver them into contests. Contests are consistently being held. author's Digest often lists real ones you may evaluate. As at your age you in all probability have not got many (if any) publishing credentials - and publishing credentials is something a writer will seem for in the event that they are giving your concept a 2nd theory. on the comparable time - i might nonetheless attempt to touch brokers (nevertheless that is not needed - can in easy terms help) and/or publishers. You in no way do be attentive to till you are attempting. i does no longer turn to self-publishing. that is extremely severe priced. sturdy success.
